Fever blisters
There are a lot of people who suffer from fever blisters. These people know that it is quite a troublesome condition that makes it very uncomfortable for people to speak, eat and even laugh. Fever blister or cold sores occur due to a certain virus called herpes simplex virus. However, a person may be infected by a virus and never experience an outbreak of fever blisters. People should know that these cases are pretty rare though. At first, the blisters will look as small, red dots but as they absorb water and moisture they will grow. There are not that many people who are not embarrassed by them. In most cases of cold sores they occur on the mouth or in the area around the mouth. However, it is not that uncommon for the blisterс to occur in the mouth and even in the nose because the blisters spread. It is important that people do not get tempted to prick the blisters in order not to cause even more swelling of the blister and even cause another infection. However, people need to know that there are certain things that they should do and which will help them speed the healing process quite a bit.
Treatment for fever blisters
Apart from the possible treatments, people who are affected by the virus should talk to the doctor in order to find out what things should be avoided in order for the outbreak of blisters to be avoided in the future. Proper hygiene is very important in order for the blister not to occur again. People should clean the places where the blisters occurred regularly and that should significantly reduce the chance of another breakout of blisters. A lot of experts advise people who already suffered from fever blisters to buy a new toothbrush. A new toothbrush decreases the chance of blister swelling and recurrence. Just like toothbrushes, tooth paste tubes also make a nice home for the virus. In order not to get the virus, people should buy smaller tubes, which will be changed more often than big ones. Wet conditions are an excellent ground for herpes to multiply. This is why people who keep their toothbrushes uncovered should wash them before and after brushing their teeth. Swelling of blisters can be prevented by applying oil jelly directly on the blisters. Zinc is pretty good for fighting against blisters so people should include more foods that contain it. There are also toothbrushes that contain zinc, so people should look for them as well.
